jit.gl.handle event reporting?

is there a way to get events out of jit.gl.handle, e.g. report click, hover, move, etc. from the dump outlet?

you can throw a jit.gl.picker in your patch, to get this info.

consider it a feature request for jit.gl.handle.

thanks, i was hoping to avoid creating a physics world for efficiency but pays.picker works for now. in general, it seems like jit.gl.handle and jit.gl.picker often need to do similar things. it would be great their functionalities and interfaces were synchronized in future releases

i was suggesting jit.gl.picker, not jit.phys.picker.

I would like to get the moue click event from a handle attached to a specific object. jit.gl.picker causes too much lag time.

consider it a feature request for jit.gl.handle.

Have any new features been implemented ?

hmm, do you have an example of this excessive lag time with jit.gl.picker? In theory it should be using the exact same code patch is jit.gl.handle in auto-handle mode.

Thanks Rob - problem solved. I observed this with the help file for jit.gl.picker - hovering over an object resulted in approximately 500ms delay until response in the print @popup.
But the problem vanished meanwhile.
